LEASE-REED.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented March 10, 1908.

Application filed March 10, 1906. Serial No. 305,291.

To all whom it may concern: I

Be it known that I, Marl ms WALTER, a citizen of the United States, residing at Paterson, in the county of Passaic and State of New Jersey, have invented certain new and useful provements in Lease-Reeds, of

which t 1e following is a specification, referonce being bad therein to the accompanying drawing.

My invention relates to lease reeds used for warping and consists of dents of novel construction and the arrangement of the same in a reed.

The objects of my invention are to provide a reed that may be used as a single or a double reed; that may be used for the crossing of a single thread or filament; or for the crossing of sets consisting of a plurality of threads or filaments; that will facilitate the process of warping and the passing of the threads through the reed; that will reduce the wear caused by passin the thread in an indirect line from the bob bins on the creelframe and through the reed; and to provide a dent that will permit the thread to pass through the lease reed in a direct line from ing to the right and some having eyes opens: ing to the left with intermediate eyeles's'f dents, some slanting to the right and some" to the left; while the right hand side of said, figure shows dents only, one set having the eyes opening'to the right, the other set having eyes opening to the left, the dotted lines -aa an a/--o on the left hand half of said figure andthe right hand half of said figure, respectively, representing the central point of a reed. Fig. 2 is a cro'ss-sec tion on line AA, of Fig. 1, showing the threads s-s passing through the right and left eyes or openings Without friction, in radial lines directly from the creel-frame.

I Fig. :3 represents a improved dents.

. n the drawings -1 is the ironic of the reed in whichthe dents are securd'together. The dents having eyes 3 are represented by the numeral -2' The eyes -3 are formed by pressing the sides ---4 and 5.- outwardly'in opposite directions, as illustrated in Figs. 3 and --l-, so as to form an opening through which the thread -smay pass in a radial direction. towards the right or towards the left; as required.

'The eyeless dent is represented by th numeral 6 and the greater portion thcro of may be bent either to the right 'or' to the lollto permit the passage of the thread unobstructed in a radial direction, or for the same purpose the eyeless dent may be secured in the fra me 1- in a slanting or oblique position.

A reed of my construction, provided only with my improved eye-dents requires for a side'view of one of my quired in a so-called single reed and areed embodying my invention will perform the function of a sc-called double reed with two thirds of the dents requircd by the double reed now in vogue.

As usually constructed, reeds have eyes formed by soldering together two adjacent dents in two places, for a single reed, and for soldered together, leaving a central opening or eye. In the single reed, as usually constructed, there is a clear space between each pair of dents that are soldered together and in a doublereed two clear spaces'between each set of dents so soldered together. The solder used being soft the friction ofthe thread frequently cuts it and the result is occur with my reed.

dents may be formed without departing from thespirit and scope of my 111V8I1t1011,;;-

threads, a change may he made by removi undue Wear upon the thread but this cannot Besides thethreads --srepresented the right hand portion of Fig. 2 as coming.- radially through the eye-dents, Otl'iGIthIjQfldQz When using my reed for a double cross, ,or' for a cross of a plurality of threads or sets ofcross of a single thread or alternate threads only' half the number of dents that are rea double reed, three adjacent dents are Any combination of eye-dents and eyeless a thread or threadsfroin each set as require It is obvious that lm-tny combinations of dents may be made to accomplish the cross desired and it vis not deenn-id necessary to show every such oomhinaticm in the drawin \Vhile the most usual crosses in weaving are what is; known as the single and double crosses, it is quite evident that my invention includes within its scope the scheme of carrying any nu rnbcr of threads or sets of threads above the plane or osition occupied by other threads or sets of threads to make the cross desired, all threads passing in a radial direction through the reed when drawn from the bobbins on the creel.-frame.

With this description of my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

1. In a lease-reed, the combination with dents, some having openings there-through {iassing obliquely to the right, and some laving opemngs passing there-through obliquely to the left, of eyeless dents, some arranged obliquely, slanting to the right, and some arranged obliquely, slanting to the left, and a frame in which said dents are seclired, substantially as set forth.

2. In a lease reed, the combination with the frame, of dents therein provided with obliquely facing openings, the dents on one side of said frame being reversely mounted with respect to those on the other side of said frame, in such a way that said oblique openings shall face toward the center of said read.

In testimony whereof I affixmy signature in presence of two Witnesses.
